SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 24-61 AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF ADELANTO’S

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the resolution authorizing withdrawal from ICRMA and authorize the City Manager to provide official notice to ICRMA, ensuring compliance with all procedural requirements.
BACKGROUND:

The City has evaluated the benefits and costs associated with membership in ICRMA and determined that withdrawing would better align with current fiscal and operational priorities.
Pursuant to ICRMA Bylaws, the effective date of termination shall be June 30, 2025. Staff has assessed the potential impacts of withdrawal, including transitioning to alternative risk management providers and ensuring continuity in workers' compensation coverage for city employees.
The resolution aligns with ICRMA's bylaws, requiring formal notice of termination and specifying the effective date.
